Thoughts on the name Bernard?

[Dandani]

Thoughts on the name Bernard? It's in the family and it's not one I've ever came across so I dont have much of an opinion but oh got it as a middle name from his grandfather and our other 2 kids both have names from the family in their names

Not NOW, Bernard! 😁

Awful

Awful. Surpassing awful.

Really??? Please no! Fine as a middle name.

I can only think of Bernie Winters or a St Bernard dog

Showing my age

In my country , you will never meet a Bernard that's under 60 yo. Sounds very outdated to me.

@monkeytennis97 Breslaw and Cribbins both put the name firmly in the pro column imo

The best dog ever!

Nice for a middle name

Not due for a revival; was it ever popular?
Definitely a wee old mans name 😕

I like the way Americans say it. 'B'nard' . Not 'Bernud', like here.

I used an old name for my ds first name, (only one we could agree on for over a week.) and as long as you dont mind random people commenting, "is it after someone in the family?" (Mine isn't!) Just go for it.

I like it, but then I have a little Bernadette, so I'm slightly biased

Omg No it’s horrible

My dh named Bernard. Jokes his mother liked it as it was a 7 letter word b..ard. They did not get on.
He was actually named for a relative who died in the war so a nice reason but a horrible name.
Everyone calls him Ben

I think Bernie's quite sweet
